EQ means emotional quotient which shows how a person react if some situation occur on the other hand IQ means intelligent quotient which shows person's mathematical ability I think EQ and IQ both are important in person's lives suppose if we only have IQ we can perform well in exam only but can't take decision of normal life sensible which everyone has to take in their life and if we only have EQ we would become dull and dull person can't survive in this society because for survival whether we have to clear exam and do job or we have to do business where also some intelligence is required so I believe that every point of time in our lives we have to make balance between EQ and IQ I believe both are equally important.

Hello friends,

I agree with all of your Opinion but from my point of view, we should balance both in our life like salt and sugar we cannot avoid EQ or IQ both are as much as important and related to each other. In our daily life we can see many examples of it, A person who have good hold on emotions can handle any situation easily whether it is in office or in home. For an example a person is frustrated of his work and still he is hardworking to get a promotion from this post and here he is not exploring his frustration to his manager because he knows it will effect him only. Here the person is using his EQ as well as his IQ. Therefore here we can see that EQ and IQ both are important to us in all manner.

Hey everyone.

First we need to understand that EQ (emotional quotient) is about feelings. It shows how a person can deal with his/her emotions. While I (intelligence quotient) is about brain. It shows your intelligence, knowledge and how good you are with your academics.

I believe that in this competitive world one should have higher EQ because competition is getting tougher day by day and many are committing suicide because they are not mentally and emotionally strong to handle such situation.

No matter how intelligent a person is, if he not mentally and emotionally strong. It will be difficult to get success in longer run.

IQ - Intelligent Quotient.
Which contain: analytical thought logic, memory, hyperactivity, concentration, risk, politics, competency, and technical skills.

EQ - Emotional Quotient.
Which contain: holistic thought, empathy, art, music, awareness, motivation, hopes, fear, emotion, soft skills, belief, behaviors, sacrifice, discipline, and dedication.

IQ measures the ability of a person to think logically and also solve new problems with innovative ideas. IQ can be somewhat increased by practice. EQ defines how a person is able to manage his/her own emotions and also understand other's emotions.

You need to have a brilliant IQ to become a good engineer, but to be a leader of engineer your EQ is more important rather than IQ. It's different to go ahead with one. I think they are complementary to each other.

A person should have EQ like 2/3 ICE in the ocean & 1/3 ICE above water level. So we can understand from this what we see & what we don't see but need to hold space for.

" EQ + IQ = SUCCESS ".

There are many examples to understand if one of them is not there then the person is not ideal like Sheldon Cooper from 'Big Bang Theory' has IQ - of 187 but a very low EQ level so that's why his coworkers don't like them.

Osama-bin-laden is a great example to understand that a person with a great ability to think is not sufficient, he should have some EQ too.
Next, chimpanzees, dolphins, crows, and elephants have more IQ than humans so EQ is one of the factors which differentiates us from animals.

There should be a balance between EQ-IQ because some of the decisions we cannot make by emotions and some not take by the brain every path of life we should have a proper balance between them.

Every successful man maintains a level between them. You might not make any decision with only one of the EQ or IQ. Many companies are looking for an employee who has both of them So they conduct aptitude tests as well as psychometric tests.

Thank you.

Hello friends,

In my opinion, EQ (Emotional Quotient) and IQ (Intelligent Quotient) both have equal importance in our lives.

High IQ helps us to perform our proffesional work better and EQ helps us in our day to day life.

Having a higher EQ means you can handle pressure situations easily, it is also important for managing relationships which are an integral part of our life. But we cannot ignore the importance of IQ as to complete a task with good results a person has to have a high IQ.

Life is all about balance. The batter you make balance the happier your life will be. EQ and IQ both are the wheels of life anyone of them can't be removed. EQ means emotional quotient and IQ stands for Intelligence quotient. Suppose you have amazing intelligence and knowledge but you don't know how to represent yourself, how to talk to others, you have no values for emotions then no one prefers to work with you. On the other side, if you are socially good, you respect others feelings, you don't think from your brain always but you don't have knowledge means you know how to represent yourself but indeed you have nothing good to represent then how can you earn your livelihood.

So, in my perception both are important.

EQ, the emotional quotient and IQ, the intelligence quotient both of them are important to lead a successful and happy life. EQ helps you to connect with people and understand them well and it gives you the ability to share your emotions it gives you love and with IQ you can have technical knowledge which helps you make money. Both Money and love are important to be happy.

According to my point of view, Both EQ and IQ are important, but EQ has a great role compare to IQ, if someone has Good IQ, he can achieve more success in his professional life but he cannot become a good leader, because if he will not understand the feeling and the way he should treat his subordinates, He cannot get respect from his subordinates, and subordinates will do their work under pressure, not by their happiness. Employees working under him will be depressed from their work and cannot work with more efficiency. So, Less EQ in a high IQ person will affect Work efficiency, satisfaction among sub-ordinates etc. So Both EQ and IQ is important for growing, satisfied life.

EQ and IQ are kinds of intelligence, former being emotional quotient and later being intellectual quotient. Both weigh equally in the real world but the nature of the task which we are taking up decides which has the upper hand.

If it's a managerial job which deals with people, EQ becomes slightly more important than IQ.

On the other hand, IQ plays a greater role in research (scientific) oriented task.

But in general, IQ determines the way you attack the problem and how you use your previous experience and knowledge for finding the solution.

EQ determines how well you manage the process and carry it forward until you find the optimal solution. It mostly deals with the balancing our emotions and keeping it stable internally as well as externally.

Hello everyone.

As we know the well-known term EQ stands for EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT.

And IQ stands for INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT.

My point of view both are intellectual to each other. Both make human being a sensible, successful, independent.

Suppose a person is in interview session then they have their IQ. But if a person defines its character there could be EQ.

So both are necessary to decision maker, smarter, achieve and could be a successful dreamer one.

Thank you.
